Letter to the editor | The Eureka Reporter

What works for some may not be the same for others

Published: Jul 19 2008, 12:04 AM

Dear Editor, Firstly, I want to wish Mr. Kerr and his wife “mazel tov” on their 53 years of marriage; however, neither his experience in this matter, his personal preference for not having a bed partner of the same sex or his advice on what sort of man/woman someone should look for has any bearing on other people’s situation. I could as well say that, as I drink coffee and have no interest in tea that everyone should just try adding milk, sugar, etc. to coffee and deal with it.

Eel River being destroyed by business interests

Published: Jul 18 2008, 12:42 AM

Dear Editor, First it was the tomatoes and that knocked the whole tomato industry on its tomato. Then it was the cilantro or was it the jalapeño peppers or maybe those sneaky little green onions? Now, nobody knows what caused the salmonella in the first place.

Vowing to abstain from abstinence

Published: Jul 18 2008, 12:41 AM

Dear Editor, On July 14, the Department of Health and Human Services proposed to define many forms of contraception as abortion. It wouldn’t take much of a further stretch of this imagination to drop the “forms” and classify all contraception as abortion. Many consider abortion to be a sin. I don’t want to offend them, so I will try my best not to commit one. How best to be sure? What is the most effective contraceptive? Abstinence! Thus, I vow to do my best to abstain from abstinence! Please pass the oysters!

Author hopes cookbook will dispel negative view of British food

Published: Jul 18 2008, 12:41 AM

Dear Editor, In response to Nathan Rushton’s recent comments in the Eureka Reporter that “We (Americans) are free from having to eat the oppressive British food,” my fellow group of British women and I, members of the local chapter of the “Daughters of the British Empire,” took offence to this comment and would like to inform Mr. Rushton that British food is far from “oppressive.” We invite him to purchase a copy of our recently published cookbook, “Sweets & Savories, British Heritage Recipes.”

Renewable resources preferable to more drilling

Published: Jul 18 2008, 12:40 AM

Dear Editor, Your editorial in favor of lifting the ban on offshore oil drilling states that “If the ban … were lifted, within a few years, we would be getting the benefit of tapping the 10.4 billion barrels there and, in the short term, it might just bring a drop in gasoline prices.”

Dear Editor, John’s Wreckers knows how to take care of its customers. It was finally time to get rid of the old truck, so I called John’s Wreckers. An incident occurred on my property which required some repair in the course of their towing my vehicle.

Let all animals eat off of silver plates

Published: Jul 16 2008, 11:17 PM

Dear Editor, So the late Leona Helmsley left all her money to her dog that eats off of silver plates — Good! Friday’s editorial had apoplexy over the very idea. Maybe Ms. Helmsley preferred the unconditional love of her dog after being shafted by her own kind?
